This week we have been having a huge focus on the presentation of our work in 3G, with daily postcards to celebrate the effort that is being made to take pride and care in our work.

So far Ella, Morris and Szymon have earned the postcards but it is getting really hard to choose.

Presentation has been particularly important this week as we have started to learn column addition and subtraction in maths, so it is crucial that we set our work out correctly to help us calculate the correct answer.

Keep up the good work guys, it is really having an impact!

Dear parents, carers and friends,

This Christmas, every class is  going to create coloured hampers that will be raffled off before Christmas.

Our class colour is blue so it would be great if everyone could bring in something blue to go into our class hamper.

You can bring in  anything from a chocolate bar to a pair of socks the more creative the better!

Please could you begin fetching your hamper items from Monday 29th November

Thank you very much in advance,

Mrs Graves

i am feeling very proud of my crew today as we set our targets on ‘Time to Read Tuesday’. Nearly the whole crew have achieved their targets  they set last week (or come very close) and the level of achievement in Accelerated Reader is amazing.

I am so pleased how they have become so independent and how they want to do well in their reading.

Keep it up guys and keep filling those sunflowers!

We have been recapping some times-tables this week. We warmed up using a dice and cheese inters and numicon ( if needed) and then we played a game of Fizz Bang! Eden and Tim proved impossible to catch out!

To help us turn the abstract world of maths and number into something concrete and that we can see, we use manipulatives. Manipulatives are objects that we can use to represent number and there are so many different ways we can use them to support our learning. They help with all levels of maths, and are not just for children that find maths more challenging.

To help us practise the different ways we can use manipulatives, ewe complete a ‘show me’ as our morning activity. It has been ‘Show me a number’ but we will be moving onto ‘show me a number sentence.’

As I wasn’t in class yesterday morning , I found it hard to select a Plover Praise Postcard receiver, so I chose two today.

Ella has come into school and worked incredibly hard, even though she was a not 100%. She has grappled with Bar Charts and not given up and I am really proud with her great attitude to learning.

Well done, Ella,

Mrs Graves
